Each night, singing in a club, I noticed the same man at the front table quietly watching me. When I sang this song, he fell in love with me. Our love lasted 45 years.
💗💗💗Oh what a beautiful story. This really is your song. I’m a pianist and 25 years ago, as a student, I was playing in a restaurant and my now hubby was a waiter over to the UK from France to learn English and he fell in love with me playing the piano. Married 21years now. 💗💗💗
Roberta Flack introduced me to this song many years ago and I have never ceased to love it. Now, at age 74, it causes my heart to seize with something unspeakable when listening to Josh Groban sing it. I look across the hall at the man I married in April of 1968 and want to hold him in my heart and arms for all eternity. It also tempers the tears I have today as the Corona virus steals lovers from each other all over the world. It is beauty like this song and this singer that helps us endure. Thank you, Mr. Groban.
@@erhardjackel4822 - I saw Roberta Flack perform this in 1975, which was breathtaking. I feel Josh Groban, Leona Lewis and George Michael give some of the best renditions and covers of this song.
Thank you, Josh. There's not a bad song on this album. It is a real comfort in a horrible time in our history, political and medical. We look for the bright spots that people like you provide.
Tremendously we Love our Lord but you keep forgetting you know Abraham that's really important too and you don't mind to understand that but see Jesus use the book of Moses to put them in their place
I sang this version at my best friends funeral last week…we’re both 53, friends from birth, cancer was too vicious, he fought bravely for 5 years before crossing over, and this was also the song playing as he died when I was holding his hand….it destroyed me, but he wanted it played during his funeral, and asked me to sing it (I use to be semi-professional)…..it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. It’s so hard singing this touching song, when you’re literally crying the entire time…but I somehow made it all the way through, until the last note, when I just couldn’t hold back, and fell to pieces in front of everyone.he was the brother I never had, and loved him so deeply, it feels like my heart will never mend😰😰😰😰😰
This song was playing when I gave birth to my beautiful baby daughter 21 years ago on Christmas Eve it holds so much meaning to me as my daughter has had to face cancer at an early age but to me this year 2020 as she turns 21 she is still the most beautifulest face I have ever seen so what a wonderful version of this song and Josh Groban's version will be the one played at her 21st just lovely thank you Josh you are a true gift to us all xxx
@@PianoAngelicus Thanks so much and yes I did play this song for her on her 21st no party just myself her step dad and her boyfriend it was a precious moment I thought may not happen miracles do exist
@@PianoAngelicus Trust me we all didn't have a dry eye either with Josh's beautiful voice singing I danced with my daughter and all of the years of pain and distraught melted away
I love Josh Groban. ..especially when he sang the songs of Ennio Morricone, but he is not Roberts and appropriates everyone else's music. I am waiting for him to do Josh.. As a classically trained tenor who also loves ballads ...I am really disappointed that Josh has kinda disappeared even with being promoted by David Foster from out of nowhere. I still love what he does... I was just disappointed that he hasn't done more with all of his backing... He was hot for awhile with all of the TV exposure and then...
The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave To the dark and the endless skies, my love To the dark and the endless skies And the first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hand Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was there at my command, my love That was there at my command, my love And the first time ever I lay with you I felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy would fill the earth And last 'til the end of time, my love And it would last 'til the end of time, my love The first time ever I saw your face Your face Your face Your face
No auto tune with Josh that's for sure.... He's the real/deal... Loved him since day "one" "1".... Keep singing dude, you got this...!!!! Just Beautiful
I never heard anything deeply touching as Josh's rendition of this song. I loved it immediately when I heard and saw the fan filmed video of the Valentine's concert in Radio City Music Hall. 💖💖💖💖 Absolutely stunning and my favorite of all times!
Josh Groban a gifted singer. You bring life and inspiration to any song and people connect to it. Happy to hear your voice again that touches body mind and spirit.
You make me beleive that something cares about my feelings! The choices and timing of your publications. Its like someone hears me! Hallelujah! I Believe that im not alone!
I was 15 walking into a classroom and saw a new face that almost stopped me from going any further. Next class I found her next to me. I couldn't talk. This year we celebrated our 59th anniversary. Her face still stops me, the beauty is overwhelming.
Roberta Flack's cover is the standard everyone remembers, but the song was recorded earlier by Bonnie Dobson, the Kingston Trio, Peter Paul & Mary, the Brothers Four, Joe and Eddie, the Chad Mitchell Trio, and Gordon Lightfoot. It was written by Ewan MacColl, who said the only version he liked was by Peggy Seeger, who sang it in clubs in the late 1950s. He said he wrote it for her, and all the remakes were terrible. Flack's version strips away the folk sound and substitutes sensuality that really fits the lyrics. She was inspired by the Joe and Eddie version.
When my first son was born, I would sing this song and make up words about seeing his face for the first time, holding him for the first time. A stronger love I have never felt and this song amplifies it well.
@@karenhardie1132 The song is about the love and relationship between two lovers: Ewan McColl who wrote the song and Peggy Seeger who sang the original. That was in 1957 long before Roberta Flack's baby was born. The song is not about motherhood.
@Suzanne Smith. Everytime I hear Josh sing this song, it brings me to tears, remembering the first time I saw the face of my husband. We are now married for 56 years, he is 88 and I am 83, and I will hold that memory in my heart forever. Such a tender and beautiful song and no-one sings it with more feeling!
Of course, my man Josh hits it right out of the ballpark with his incomparable sensitivity and depth of feeling! Thanks for bringing this great old song back to a new incarnation...💖
Wow! From the first few words I knew I had to listen to this privately. This is the most beautiful version of this song that I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing and wishing you success with your new album!
@@RickiHockersmith83 - Yes, I love George Michael version is extraordinary beautiful and heartfelt. He is TRULY bless with the voice of an angel and the look of a Greek God falling from heaven. My dearest George Michael may you rest in peace. 😇🙏💕💋🤗🙏🙏💋💋💋
Thank you Josh for your music, like many others, i can truly say your songs have been with me most of my life to this point. they offer moments of peace and joy and in times of difficulty, they are uplifting. many thanks my friend!!
Mr JOSH, quel émoi ! - Un HYMNE À L’AMOUR venu de bien plus loin que votre voix de velours ne se joue, voluptueuse sur des parole en beauté - L’Emotion reste suspendue au souffle court. Puis une larme des yeux, du cœur, inévitable... témoigne. MERCI au nom de Toutes ! ☆☆☆
Im so glad I found Josh singing this. I never heard him sing it. I'm glad I did get the chance! I like the arrangement too. Also "the first time" I've ever heard Josh without the vibrato that I think he is known for, and loved so much. I know I do. Beautiful too without so much of it! Like fine wine!
Why do I feel like you're singing directly to me? And why do you sound like such an amazing lullaby? This is absolutely amazing and also the reason people stalk celebrities...
this was my song song with my people then you took it away from me I was picked for this song by people that know me so many has copy it for themselves!!! IT WAS MY FACE,!!! IT WAS MY SONG
Beautiful, sensitive, honest and deeply moving. I now have three "favorite" singers of this song. Can't separate them. All magnificent. Kudos to Mr Groban for making the cut into a rarified group. I won't compromise my opinion or his performance by naming the others. He's entitled to his special place as one of the greatest of all time. Bravo! Very well done, Sir. Congratulations!
That is exactly how it happened. I shocked myself I wasn’t even looking and hadn’t for 5 years. I kept going back to those eyes that drew me deep within 💙
I loved it when Roberta Flack did and it was so beautiful Josh does it with every bit of tenderness if not more than she did. Gives me awesome chills!!!
Thank you Josh for sharing this precious song! Always one of my favorites! Always get chills listening to your music! Simply, lovely! Thanks dear friend!
The voice of the angel thank you miss you..hope concert will be back and josh your will coming back in LONDON 02 to give us 2 hours of pure joy Take care stay safe and see you soon
Andrea! So happy for you! My wife & I have loved each other for52 years married & 57 years as friends! LOVE TRULY CAN SERVIVE ANY TRIAL LIFE PUTS IN YOUR WAY!

I’m so sorry your heart is 💔 broken. I think that’s what this mortal life does to us, breaks our hearts, unless we are very cold and hard hearted.
Omg what a very sad, but touching story. You should be so proud of what you did for your friend. 💕 💕
Sooner or later....someday it release the pain in your heart...you would be happy stay stronger....God bless you always...my dear friend....😇🤗

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies
And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command, my love
And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last 'til the end of time, my love
And it would last 'til the end of time, my love
The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face
Thank you

Love this rendition of a classic song by Roberta Flack.
Roberta Flack's cover is the standard everyone remembers, but the song was recorded earlier by Bonnie Dobson, the Kingston Trio, Peter Paul & Mary, the Brothers Four, Joe and Eddie, the Chad Mitchell Trio, and Gordon Lightfoot.
It was written by Ewan MacColl, who said the only version he liked was by Peggy Seeger, who sang it in clubs in the late 1950s. He said he wrote it for her, and all the remakes were terrible.
Flack's version strips away the folk sound and substitutes sensuality that really fits the lyrics. She was inspired by the Joe and Eddie version.
I think this one is my favorite!
Oh my goodness!
When my first son was born, I would sing this song and make up words about seeing his face for the first time, holding him for the first time. A stronger love I have never felt and this song amplifies it well.
I read that the song is about seeing a newborn for the first time. Many people think it is about a relationship.
@@karenhardie1132 The song is about the love and relationship between two lovers: Ewan McColl who wrote the song and Peggy Seeger who sang the original. That was in 1957 long before Roberta Flack's baby was born. The song is not about motherhood.
I DEDICATE THIS SONG TO MY LATE SISTER....JENNY....HER FAVORITE SONG. I MISS YOU SO MUCH 🌹
STUNNING. GOOSEBUMPS. BEST VERSION EVER. THANKS AND GOD BLESS JOSH GROBAN.
This is so beautiful. Brings back the most wonderful memories listening to Roberta Flack. Thank you Josh.

Seems to be a new quality to Josh's voice. I'm loving it!!!

That voice ❤ and this romance... This album is like a beautiful dream❤
